Mini-Haul // The Shop
I popped into The Shop at The Normandie Hotel on Friday evening with every intention of grabbing my mom a Mother’s Day gift. I left with a bag full of stuff…none of which were for my mom. Usual behaviour. The Shop has really expanded its stock of local vendors considerably since it first opened. It’s…

Pencil This In // Christmas Pop Ups
There has been NO shortage of shopping opportunities over the last month and a half. Since Bits and Pieces kicked things off in November, every time you turn, there has been a pop up sale or market. I’m not complaining, of course. Christmas markets are, for me, where all of this began. My first trip…

Introducing // The Decorative Pillow Collection by Toni Crockett Design
I don’t think there’s a single woman in the world who wouldn’t want her home to be as fabulously outfitted as she is. We’re blessed in Trinidad to have a wealth of interior décor stores and interior designers to bring our homes up to the standard we hold for our own personal style. One such…

Pencil This In // Pop Up Shop Times 5
Looks like I really will be living on ramen noodles for the remainder of July. Good thing I love ramen *smirk* Right after Racked TT we have another shopping extravaganza to look forward to.

Pencil This In // Racked TT
Shoppppeeeeennnnnggggggg. Nothing makes me happier. Well that’s not true….shopping LOCAL makes me happier than plain old shopping. For whatever reason – and I’m sure I’ve expressed this before – I just don’t get shopper’s remorse when I buy local. Even if I decide I’m not in love with something after the fact, seizing the opportunity…

Color Revolution SXM (Part Deux)
Oh yes….white sand between my toes, a comfy lounge upon which to rest my tush, a dedicated bar service and some mini tiki torches lapping playfully at the hem of my Christian Boucaud convertible dress (Oh hell no fire! Not you and me today). Contrary to what you may be thinking at this point…no…I wasn’t…

Color Revolution SXM (Part Un)
So what exactly do you do when your editor calls you and asks you if you can go to St. Maarten to cover one of the most talked about fashion events for the year? There is no choice. You say yes. You plug in for a vacation day, make sure your passport has some months left,…

Out & About // Sunday Rush
Well after the super awesome day that was Saturday, I entered into Sunday (I’ve time traveled a bit…so this refers to April 13th by the way) with some trepidation. I had around 6 articles to write and was done with all of 2, so naturally staying in bed all day with my computer on my…

Out & About // Oh What a Saturday!
Last weekend was murder. I don’t know why but it was THAT much harder to get out of bed to do anything at all, and yet, it was probably one of the busiest weekends I’ve had in a while. Because…life. I kicked Saturday off with a trip to Vanity Fair with my co-workers Alina and…

Some Life Lessons from Meiling @ Startup Grind TT
There are these truths that float around in your head…these persistent ‘codes’ that tug at your brain every time you behave in a way contrary to what your ‘truth’ perpetuates. For me…I feel a tug when I tell myself I can sleep in late the next day. I feel one when I tell myself I need…
